This is a model I finished a while ago but struggling to
find time to blog. I had done a sort of WIP post about it already and here’s
the finished version. The beast is from Mierce Miniatures and the ogre from
Avatar of War. This is a model I really enjoyed converting despite it being in
metal. I did a slightly higher base for it to add verticality. The painting has
been fun and the model is already gone to its new master.

Not too sure what it means, something about ghosts probably.
These are the models from the 2014 Kinder spiel winner. It’s an excellent kid’s
game with beautiful artwork from Piero. It’s not a miniature game at all but
the models are pretty good really. I really enjoyed painting these and it will definitely
improve the experience of the game.

Right, so these are probably some of the worst models I have
had to paint in the past 2 years. I’m not sure I can think of any worse than
those really. They’re typical soft plastic with horrendous mould lines and no
definition, the kind you get in games that are not focussed on models. My
judgement might be impaired by the fact that I was painting top notch resin
castings models at the same time I was doing those. Anyway, I did what I could
and very quickly. I didn’t bother to take a picture of the basic models as they’re
even worse. A shame really as the game is excellent. I mean really super
excellent and here’s a link for it.

Here’s another set of Super Dungeon Explore I did before
Christmas. As requested, I kept the “classis colours” of the original artwork.
This is a really fun series of models although there’s some crazy preparation
work with assembly and cleaning those terrible mould lines. This is the third
set I’ve done, I wouldn’t mind doing the models from the expansion, just for a
change. However, I’m going to start painting Arcadia Quest soon which I’m
really excited about.

Here’s a paintjob I did for somebody’s Christmass. I’ve to
say it’s an incredible kit from Games Workshop. It was very easy to put
together and came with many variations. It all fit beautifully and required
very little putty work. How do the work the assemblage is mind boggling.

I tried to follow the paintjob from the studio and added a different
base. I really enjoyed doing this one and hope it will see many battles.

I think I'm just typing this post to use that name in the
title. It’s quite a statement.

Anyway, this is a conversion with a model from Avatar of War
and one from Mierce (Ulmons, the beast). The ogre is in metal which made for some
hard work. I had to change the legs and a few bits. I’m excited to start
painting it.

The Blog has been quiet over the last few weeks. It was a
combination of me taking some time off for Christmas and not being able to show
stuff as they were supposed to be surprises. Anyway, I can show what I’ve been
up to in the last 2 months. I managed to finish some painting for me which is
great. I love this game and if I’m well behind as far as the story go; I made a
priority to paint these as they’re great. There is a good selection of minions
and the 3 new heroes are really good. I particularly love the frog army.
Overall the models are quite nice and decent quality for board game stuff. If
you don’t know much about this game, it’s all here.

About Me

A Blog about miniatures, my painting and the pieces of scenery I'm producing. My taste in miniature hasn't change much since I started in the hobby. I still prefer Fantasy stuff to Sci-Fi, however Steampunk is growing on me.
